|APCB1. |SUBJECT: |CONDEMNING ALL ACTS OF ECO TERRORISM IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY (DISTRICT: ALL) |
| |OVERVIEW: |
| |On August 1, 2003 an organization known as the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) claimed to have set fire to a five-story apartment |
| |complex under construction in the UTC area. Responsibility for the three-alarm blaze was claimed by the ELF under the guise of |
| |protecting the environment from rampant urban development. On September 19, 2003, the ELF claimed responsibility for additional |
| |fires at three new home construction sites in the Torrey Highlands community. |
| | |
| |Although militant environmental organizations, such as the ELF, portray their actions as beneficial to the environment, setting |
| |large-scale fires is nothing more than eco terrorism with serious impacts to the region’s air and water quality. |
| | |
| |In the best interest of public and environmental health, we must immediately act to officially condemn all eco terrorist activity |
| |in the County of San Diego. |
| |FISCAL IMPACT: |
| |There is no fiscal impact associated with this proposal. |
| |RECOMMENDATION: |
| |CHAIRMAN COX: |
| |Condemn all acts of eco terrorism including arson and vandalism in the County of San Diego. |
| | |
| |Direct the Chief Administrative Officer to draft a letter for the Chairman’s signature to the Mayors of all cities in San Diego |
| |County expressing the opposition of the County of San Diego to eco terrorist activities due to their negative impact on the |
| |environment. |
| | |
| |Request that the Sheriff of San Diego County express the Board of Supervisors’ support to the law enforcement community for their |
| |efforts to identify and capture all arsonists, vandals and other persons who commit criminal acts under the guise of |
| |environmentalism but at the expense of the public and environmental health of the San Diego County region. |
| |ACTION: |
| |ON MOTION of Member Horn, seconded by Member Jacob, the Board of Supervisors took action as recommended, on Consent. |
| | |
| |AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn |
There being no further business, the Board adjourned at 10:31 a .m.
